Still sealing ends nightly except Wednesdays with Coconut Oil.

On Wednesdays, that's when I do my HOT with Jojoba Oil and seal the ends and hair shaft with the Jojoba Oil. I have decided to this weekly.

IDareT'sHair and Lita,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE IMPORTANT TIPS!!!!

i'm going to do the 2 step henna then indigo tomorrow and was also surprised when i read JJamiah experienced dryness. also because i know she is really wise with keeping the protein/moisture balance (a fine art i am still in the process of learning), so i must proceed with caution.erplexed

that safflower oil sounds yummy! but the warm water rinse? does that mean you rinse your hair in warm water before putting the safflower oil on or that you mix them both in an applicator bottle to apply them?

i'm thinking of putting a pinch of mustard oil in my henna and yes, it will only be done once my gloves are on and i'm ready to apply! (THX!)

i think i still have some pumpkin seed oil, if it hasn't expired! (i had some amla oil, but just found it expired in dec. 2010 and i don't know if there's a grace period with this stuff) maybe i can put the pumpkin seed oil with the ceramide oil to do my dc once i'm done with the henna/indigo?

those folks at garden of wisdom really need to put expiration dates on their oils, too.
i got the amla oil from "of a simple nature" in the uk, and at around the same time, i ordered a small portion of the same from garden of wisdom, so i can only assume that if the one from "of a simple nature" says it exprired, i guess the one from the gaarden of wisdom did too, though without the date on it, i would still like to use it just to finish it up.

ok, i know this is not a good question to ask (lol!), but has anybody ever used expired oil on their hair? like what's the worst that can happen?

I wouldn't use it. By the time an oil has expired, the container could have gathered enough moisture for microbes to grow. But usually by then, the oil has turned nasty and smells rancid.

grow Are you using the safflower oil just as a rinse or just to seal? If you are using it as a rinse/hot water 1st/warm water 2nd...If you are sealing with it..Last step when hair is still damp..

*If your oil has a off smell dump it ASAP!
*If it has a expiration date on it (rancid) dump it ASAP!

*Buy some fresh oil!

*Thats why I keep it stored in/cool dry place..Last LONGER...



Happy Hair Growing!

Urban and Lita, thank you for the sound advice! (i didn't even think about microbes and all...)

i don't smell any rancid odor or see any discoloration of the oil, but if expired oil is not ok just the same, i better dump it.

has anyone ever used oil from garden of wisdom that is over 1 year old? i ask because they don't even put expiration dates on theirs, but maybe that's because they make theirs with special preservatives, so they don't expire?

oils ii buy at the supermarket (like coconut oil, evoo, sunflower oil, ecc.) don't have expiration dates on them, so i'm assuming not ALL oils expire?

thanks Lita for the safflower oil directions!

Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

grow You can call or email Garden Of Wisdom & ask!
*The oils I have from them are not a year old..

As for the supermarket..They have a longer shelf life..But,still give the sniff & touch test...lol




Happy Hair Growing!

Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

Lita, i'm gonna do just that, thanks!

and while i'm at it, i'm going to see if i can find out why they don't just put expiration dates on their oils.

i guess the supermarket oils don't come with expiration dates because they feel people will most likely go thru the bottle before it expires. at least that's the way it is here in italy...we use evoo in the meals too much and too quickly for it to be around long enough to expire. lol!

Personally I would still use them but it is up to you. I have a few oils that have expired and am using them in body oil concoctions to use them up. They still smell absolutely fine just like when I first bought them, still I just use them on myself and do not include these in concoctions that I share with friends.

I think I will try some castor oil on my scalp.

Also,I really like that new oil blend that I bought with the avocado,coconut,lavender,etc. I believe its by sof'n free,but I'm not positive.
It definitely has staple potential. I want to keep using it for a few more weeks before I welcome it to my collection.

Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

Since I was planning to wash, I soaked my hair in a warmed mix of Wheatgerm, Hemp seed, Rice bran, and CoCasta. I'll probably add some HS and RB to my DC later.
